Abstract

Abstract Water pollution becomes a serious global concern threatening the entire biosphere and affecting the lives of many millions of people around the world. Water pollution causes a variety of diseases and millions of people die annually because of illness related to the dirty water. TbFeO3 nanostructures were synthesized by green sonication method. Cherry and orange juice were used as natural surfactant and results were compared by those obtained by chemical surfactants (SDS and CTAB). Then as-prepared TbFeO3 nanostructures were applied to treat wastewater containing Methyl orange, Acid Blue 92, Acid Black 1, and Acid Brown 214. In addition, the effect of pH and containment concentration on the photocatalytic activity of TbFeO3 nanostructure was studied. Using orange juice as surfactant leads helped to boost the photocatalytic activity of TbFeO3 nanostructure. As prepared TbFeO3 nanostructure were characterized with XRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, DRS, BET and FT-IR.
